About @Ray Bell
75 years old • Male • Journalist etc (inc driver)
I grew up in an outer suburb of Sydney and have lived in both Canberra and Brisbane before spending ten wonderful years at rural Dalveen. I pursued many careers, clerical work, sales, courier driving and writing about cars and motor racing. My two children, from my first marriage, are as far apart as Queensland and Indiana. I have no intention of giving up working for a living even though many of my contemporaries have long since retired.
- Hobbies:
Cars and motor racing - as it used to be
- Favourite places:
Wherever there is something to see. This earth was created for the benefit of man and man was created with the abilities to enjoy what it has to offer, whether that be a classical sunset or a waterfall or plainlands disappearing into the distance. But it would be nothing without mountains from which it's best seen.
If you have confidence in yourself you can do anything. My mother told me this when I was 8 (1954).
